210 FXUS63 KGRB 140759 AFDGRB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 259 AM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 Forecast discussion for routine morning forecast issuance .KEY MESSAGES... - Periods of showers expected through the weekend, especially west and north of the Fox Valley/lakeshore areas. - Stormy period expected for at least the early to mid part of the next work week. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 259 AM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 Light showers and sprinkles are currently noted across north- central Wisconsin early this morning with a steadier band of showers upstream across northwest Wisconsin coincident with 800-700 mb frontogenesis. These showers should advect east today as the frontogenesis and mid level shortwave move east. The highest chances (60-80 percent) will be across north-central Wisconsin where the best dynamics will reside. Central and northeast Wisconsin are also expected to see some of this activity with lower chances (20-40 percent) further away from the best dynamics and moisture. The Fox Valley is expected to mainly be dry, although a sprinkle or light shower is not out of the question. The abundant cloud cover, east to northeast winds, and showers will keep temperatures cool today. Highs are only expected to rise into the upper 50s across north-central Wisconsin, with lower 70s south of Highway 29. Rain chances will decrease a bit tonight with the loss of diurnal heating, with scattered showers still possible across central and north-central Wisconsin. Another shortwave combined with mid level frontogenesis and daytime heating will lead to additional showers on Sunday with a rumble or two of thunder possible Sunday afternoon as some modest instability builds across the region. Forcing will be a bit weaker with lower chances (40-60 percent) expected north and west of the Fox Valley. Highs Sunday will be a bit warmer; ranging from the middle 60s across north-central Wisconsin to the middle 70s south of Highway 10. Much of the upcoming week will be active with a zonal flow in place across the CONUS with several shortwaves embedded in the flow tracking through the western Great Lakes region. The atmosphere will become warmer as temperatures warm above normal with a more humid airmass next week. The warm and unstable atmosphere will provide opportunities for strong to severe storms at times, along with dry periods; however, pinpointing these periods is difficult as they change from run to run. The first opportunity could be as soon as Monday night as an MCS develops upstream and heads for western Wisconsin. There is a marginal risk for severe weather for portions of central and north-central Wisconsin if these storms can hold together. Beyond this, there will likely be additional opportunities for severe weather but with the models diverging during the middle to late part of next week confidence is too low to include additional targets. && .AVIATION.../06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/... Issued at 1026 PM CDT Fri Jun 13 2025 Extensive IFR/MVFR stratus will persist tonight into Saturday with some improvement from the south and east on Saturday. Periods of showers are likely at times, especially from central to northeast Wisconsin (40-80% chance). However, exact placement and timing of showers will need to be refined in subsequent updates given the weakly forced nature of the precipitation. Thunder potential looks very low (<10%) through the period. Winds will remain easterly, generally near or below 10 kts. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ DISCUSSION.....Kurimski AVIATION.......JM
